AAC2025_Baptiste Grand_Der OKR.X Guide.pdfAgile Austria ConferenceHinter diesem komplizierten Titel verbergen sich fünf Jahre Experimente, Versuche und Schwierigkeiten mit dem OKR-Rahmen. Definitiv eine harte Nuss: XITASO hatte, wie viele andere Organisationen auch, eine schwere Zeit, es effektiv zum Laufen zu bringen – aber nach einigen mütigen und undogmatischen Änderungen haben wir es geschafft. Strategisches Motto, asynchrones Drumbeating, neue Rollen und Verantwortlichkeiten, Ressourcenzuteilung auf der Grundlage von Beyond Budgeting Prinzipien, Domains und Selbstorganisation – XITASO spielt kein Buzzword-Bingo, sondern hat viel zu erzählen! In diesem aufregenden Vortrag wird Baptiste kurz die holakratische Organisation von XITASO vorstellen (mit 260 Mitarbeitern, 16 Teams und 31 Kreisen) und zeigen, wie sie ihren eigenen OKR-Rahmen geschaffen hat, um Innovationen strategisch und effektiv voranzutreiben. All ihre Erkenntnisse werden auch als kostenlose Handouts in Form des „OKR.X Guide“ zur Verfügung stehen!

Science Communication beyond Journal Publications WorkshopWAIHIGA K.MUTURI🌍 Science Not Shared is Science Lost: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Impact 🎙️📖
In the heart of Africa, where innovation meets resilience, lies an untapped reservoir of scientific brilliance. Yet, too often, groundbreaking research remains confined within the walls of journals, inaccessible to the communities it seeks to serve. This February, I am thrilled to join the "Science Communication Beyond Journal Publications" workshop at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) as one of the lead trainers. Together, we will unravel the power of storytelling, creative media, and strategic communication to amplify science's voice beyond academia.
Science is not just about discovery—it's about connection. Imagine a researcher in Kampala whose work could transform public health policy but struggles to translate their findings into actionable insights for policymakers. Or a young scientist in Nairobi whose groundbreaking study on climate resilience could inspire farmers but remains buried in technical jargon. These stories matter. They hold the potential to change lives and rewrite Africa’s narrative on poverty and development.
At this workshop, we will explore how scientists can collaborate with communicators to craft compelling stories that resonate with policymakers, communities, and global audiences alike. From podcasts that bring lab discoveries to life 🎧 to press releases that spark media attention 📰 and digital tools that democratize knowledge 🌐—we will empower participants to make their research accessible and impactful.
This mission aligns deeply with my belief that Africa MUST change the way it tackles poverty. Science communication is not just about sharing knowledge; it's about driving action. When researchers effectively communicate their work, they empower communities with solutions rooted in evidence. They influence policies that prioritize sustainable development. They inspire innovation that addresses grassroots challenges.
Let us humanize science—infuse it with stories of hope, struggle, and triumph—and ensure it reaches those who need it most. Because when science connects with people, it transforms lives.
To my fellow scientists and communicators: this is our call to action. Let’s bridge the gap between discovery and impact. Let’s co-create stories that not only inform but inspire action across Africa and beyond.

Satoshi Nakamoto - True Identity RevealedMike HydesSatoshi Nakamoto is not a person, Satoshi Nakamoto is a partnership of two individuals.
The partners have a formal written partnership agreement which governs the activities of the partnership.
The term Satoshi Nakamoto is actually a portmanteau of the individual pseudonyms of the two partners.
Satoshi is the pseudonym of Natasha, the maternal aunt of Vitalik Buterin and former cryptologist at the CSE's Tutte Institute for Mathematics and Computing. However, she's still a member of Canada's national security and intelligence community.
Nakamoto is the pseudonym of Anastasia, the younger sister of former Edmonton police officer Elena Sinelnikova.
The two partners can verify all of this via cryptographic proof employing either the bitcoin genesis block address or the bitcoin block 9 address. The latter being the address that was used to pay 10btc to Hal Finney on January 12, 2009.
The two will also verify that they did not mine any of the so called patoshi pattern bitcoins and that bitcoin block 9 does not adhere to that mining pattern.
The two also published the proof of stake whitepapper under the pseudonym Sunny King.
See https://academy.youngplatform.com/en/crypto-heroes/who-is-inventor-proof-of-stake/
They also published the CryptoNote whitepaper using another pseudonym, that of Nicolas van Saberhagen.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoNote
They were also two of several individuals behind the thankful_for_today pseudonym who initiated the development of Monero.
see https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2407/what-is-the-story-with-thankful-for-today-and-the-transfer-of-dev-control
They continued to be active in the industry they helped to initiate.
They were behind the involvement of Natasha's nephew Vitalik Buterin in the founding of the Ethereum project.
They worked behind the scenes on the development of the Metis project by their sisters Natalia Ameline and Elena Sinelnikova.
They worked behind the scenes on other projects in the crypto/blockchain industry as well.
Natasha's sister Natalia Ameline is one of the cofounders of Cryptochicks.ca along with Anastasia's sister Elena Sinelnikova.
Don't take my work for it though, Natalia can be contacted at natalia.ameline@cryptochicks.ca and Elena can be contacted at elena.sinelnikova@cryptochicks.ca - give them a shout why don't you?
Natasha and Anastasia also confirm and clarify the role that the organization known as Cicada 3301 played in the origin and development of bitcoin. That is an interesting story you will not want to miss out on.
They will also confirm for you all the folks who knew the truth about the origins of bitcoin and who have been lying about it.
Natasha expressed an interest moving from the Canadian intelligence community and becoming an RCMP officer prior to revealing the truth about her involvement in the development of the industry. Her stated objective is to work in the RCMP's Federal Policing National Security Program.
Let us wish her well
